This Scheme amends article 8 of the Brucellosis Incentive Payments Scheme 1977 (which gives the Minister, and the Secretary of State, certain powers of recovery in respect of incentive payments) so as to make it clear that incentive payments cannot be recovered simply because the Minister, or the Secretary of State, considers that they were wrongly made, and may be recovered only if it is established as a fact that they have been wrongly made.
